Wow!! Absolutely great tips here!! Printing this one out for sure. Thanks!! I know I am absolutely guilty of wanting to learn it all at once. I have no training in art..what little I've done so far has been by instinct, a bit of research in that area, definitely in order. So far lighting has been my nemesis. I love doing faces but no matter how good a face is, without great lighting, its just a face. Multiple runtimes. I would Never have thought of..and since I simply Must have everything I can get my hands on, I've been making myself crazy Looking for the things once Poser is open. I also never thought to change the workspace... Saving my work.. well found that one out the hard way but I think I am still not saving often enough. Back ups for settings..wonderful idea! As far as goodies for Poser..I could spend my life savings and still find things I want..so many talented folks doing such great things out there. I'll find those tuts and print them out. I seem to do better that way than switching from screen to screen trying to follow. Releasing Miss Piggy from her singing lessons.. I should have Known that would Never work out LOL Mystmaiden
